Exception return implies context synchronization, so we can hook up the
SYNC_CORE option to sys_membarrier() simply by selecting the Kconfig option,
just like we've done for arm64 already.

HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR should be selected by architectures with stack
canary implementation. It is not about the compiler support.
For the consistency with commit 050e9baa9dc9 ("Kbuild: rename
CC_STACKPROTECTOR[_STRONG] config variables"), remove 'CC_' from the
config symbol.
I moved the 'select' lines to keep the alphabetical sorting.

Currently the PTE special supports is turned on in per architecture
header files. Most of the time, it is defined in
arch/*/include/asm/pgtable.h depending or not on some other per
architecture static definition.
This patch introduce a new configuration variable to manage this
directly in the Kconfig files. It would later replace
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL.
Here notes for some architecture where the definition of
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is not obvious:
arm
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL which is currently defined in
arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable-3level.h which is included by
arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable.h when CONFIG_ARM_LPAE is set.
So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if ARM_LPAE.
powerpc
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined in 2 files:
- arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/pgtable.h
- arch/powerpc/include/asm/pte-common.h
The first one is included if (PPC_BOOK3S & PPC64) while the second is
included in all the other cases.
So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL all the time.
sparc:
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined if defined(__sparc__) &&
defined(__arch64__) which are defined through the compiler in
sparc/Makefile if !SPARC32 which I assume to be if SPARC64.
So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if SPARC64
There is no functional change introduced by this patch.

'pte_special'"
The removal of this file appears to have been premature; it's not a feature
enabled by Kconfig, but it's a arch-level feature regardless. Put it back
for now until some happy future time when we decide how we really want to
document such features.

Pul removal of obsolete architecture ports from Arnd Bergmann:
"This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv,
m32r, metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device
drivers.
I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to
ensure that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely
unused in mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the
respective ports to start with and getting them included in upstream,
but also saw no point in keeping the port alive without any users.
In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company in
charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It
seems that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not
used the custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In
contrast, CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively
maintained kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.
[ See the new nds32 port merged in the previous commit for the next
generation of "one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU
microarchitecture and a software ecosystem" - Linus ]
The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I
made sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile,
mn10300, and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old
kernels, but those products will never be updated to newer kernel
releases.
After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
gcc support:
- unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.
- openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing
their support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first
place. They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some
degree, but complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1.
Csky posted their first kernel patch set last week, their situation
will be similar
[ Palmer Dabbelt points out that RISC-V support is in mainline gcc
since gcc-7, although gcc-7.3.0 is the recommended minimum - Linus ]"
This really says it all:

A number of architecture ports are obsolete and getting dropped,
so we no longer want to track the respective features.
We already removed the lines for metag and mn10300, this does
the same edits for all the others.
For the remaining 21 architectures, this shows how many are known
to implement each given feature:

The list-arch.sh script considers lines beginning with "#" as match for
the feature table.
Given that those tables are never in lines beginning with "#",
add a reverse grep on "^#" when matching the "ok/TODO" state of
the architecture.
This allows adding comments within the feature files, for instance
describing the architecture requirements for the feature in each
architecture.

Cover kernel addresses above 0x90000000 by the shadow map. Enable
HAVE_ARCH_KASAN when MMU is enabled. Provide kasan_early_init that fills
shadow map with writable copies of kasan_zero_page. Call
kasan_early_init right after mmu initialization in the setup_arch.
Provide kasan_init that allocates proper shadow map pages from the
memblock and puts these pages into the shadow map for addresses from
VMALLOC area to the end of KSEG. Call kasan_init right after memblock
initialization. Don't use KASAN for the boot code, MMU and KASAN
initialization and page fault handler. Make kernel stack size 4 times
larger when KASAN is enabled to avoid stack overflows.

- Support for the new Power9 "XIVE" interrupt controller.
- TLB flushing optimisations for the radix MMU on Power9.
- Support for CAPI cards on Power9, using the "Coherent Accelerator
Interface Architecture 2.0".
- The ability to configure the mmap randomisation limits at build and
runtime.
- Several small fixes and cleanups to the kprobes code, as well as
support for KPROBES_ON_FTRACE.
- Major improvements to handling of system reset interrupts,
correctly treating them as NMIs, giving them a dedicated stack and
using a new hypervisor call to trigger them, all of which should
aid debugging and robustness.
- Many fixes and other minor enhancements.

Allow kprobes to be placed on ftrace _mcount() call sites. This optimization
avoids the use of a trap, by riding on ftrace infrastructure.
This depends on HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS which depends on MPROFILE_KERNEL,
which is only currently enabled on powerpc64le with newer toolchains.
Based on the x86 code by Masami.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"Here are the main arm64 updates for 4.6. There are some relatively
intrusive changes to support KASLR, the reworking of the kernel
virtual memory layout and initial page table creation.
Summary:
- Initial page table creation reworked to avoid breaking large block
mappings (huge pages) into smaller ones. The ARM architecture
requires break-before-make in such cases to avoid TLB conflicts but
that's not always possible on live page tables
- Kernel virtual memory layout: the kernel image is no longer linked
to the bottom of the linear mapping (PAGE_OFFSET) but at the bottom
of the vmalloc space, allowing the kernel to be loaded (nearly)
anywhere in physical RAM
- Kernel ASLR: position independent kernel Image and modules being
randomly mapped in the vmalloc space with the randomness is
provided by UEFI (efi_get_random_bytes() patches merged via the
arm64 tree, acked by Matt Fleming)
- Implement relative exception tables for arm64, required by KASLR
(initial code for ARCH_HAS_RELATIVE_EXTABLE added to lib/extable.c
but actual x86 conversion to deferred to 4.7 because of the merge
dependencies)
- Support for the User Access Override feature of ARMv8.2: this
allows uaccess functions (get_user etc.) to be implemented using
LDTR/STTR instructions. Such instructions, when run by the kernel,
perform unprivileged accesses adding an extra level of protection.
The set_fs() macro is used to "upgrade" such instruction to
privileged accesses via the UAO bit
- Half-precision floating point support (part of ARMv8.2)
- Optimisations for CPUs with or without a hardware prefetcher (using
run-time code patching)
- copy_page performance improvement to deal with 128 bytes at a time
- Sanity checks on the CPU capabilities (via CPUID) to prevent
incompatible secondary CPUs from being brought up (e.g. weird
big.LITTLE configurations)
- valid_user_regs() reworked for better sanity check of the
sigcontext information (restored pstate information)
- ACPI parking protocol implementation
- CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA enabled by default
- VDSO code marked as read-only
- DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support
- ARCH_HAS_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL enabled
- Erratum workaround Cavium ThunderX SoC
- set_pte_at() fix for PROT_NONE mappings
- Code clean-ups"

This wires up the existing generic huge-vmap feature, which allows
ioremap() to use PMD or PUD sized block mappings. It also adds support
to the unmap path for dealing with block mappings, which will allow us
to unmap the __init region using unmap_kernel_range() in a subsequent
patch.

Commit 669f6f96c680a741257ada44a28b580df2e1fc25 introduced
the script list-arch.sh, which uses the command "arch":
ARCH=${1:-$(arch | sed 's/x86_64/x86/' | sed 's/i386/x86/')}
It turns out that the "arch" command does not exist in my system (arch
distro). Google found man pages which say "arch is deprecated command since
release util-linux 2.13. Use uname -m" (util-linux 2.13 was released in 2007).
I also found a debian bug reporting the lack of arch and being told to use
uname -m https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=446023
But then, why it works in some distros? Apparently coreutils gained an
optional arch command that needs to be explicitly enabled during compilation.
Some distros enable it, others don't. Sigh.

This brings SECCOMP_MODE_STRICT and SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER support through
prctl(2) and seccomp(2) to User-mode Linux for i386 and x86_64
subarchitectures.
secure_computing() is called first in handle_syscall() so that the
syscall emulation will be aborted quickly if matching a seccomp rule.
This is inspired from Meredydd Luff's patch
(https://gerrit.chromium.org/gerrit/21425).
